could affect your ability to use it properly.

room for handling, and help the operator stay altert. Bolt the log splitter to the work surface if it

Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered areas invites injuries.
Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain.
Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable liquids pose a potential haz-
ard.

order. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are

mended when working. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair, prevent-
ing it from get caught in machinery.
• PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent
eye damage. Always wear safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Do not put the log splitter on the ground for operations. This is awkward operating
position that the operator has to bring his face close to the machine, and thus risks
being struck by wood chips or debris.

Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which can result
in overheating. Be sure the extension cord is no longer than 10m and its section is no less than
2.5mm2 to allow sufficient current flow to the motor.
Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections. Connections must be made with pro-
tected material suitable for outdoor use.
The following basic troubleshooting checks can be easily carried out to determine whether or not the unit
is running correctly. If the unit will not operate after these checks then the product should be taken to an
Authorised Service Agent for further inspection.
